Of course he's going to complement his HC, it was just interesting he chose those words. It's not compliment vs. non-compliment.

yeah most players say their coach is a dumbshit who doesn't know what he's talking about.

I also think mangini is tough but more easy going than many of us first though regardless of what some beat writers think of him right now mangini will prove he is the real deal and just like bq or da would say this team has some good talent it just needs a great coach to help bring it all together..if these guys can gel in a timely fashion the browns may shock the nation if not we will get better by midseason and pull out a 7-9 8-8 or 9-7 season regardless and beset for 2010...

With the depth and tudoring this club will have on paper even some injuries shouldnt dash this teams season like it has in the past..this appears to be good management on mankoks behalf and absolutely crucial to any success imho...

To be fair he did say he doesn't have time for video games anymore because he has so much film to watch and a lot on his plate. ::cough-bull$shit-cough::

Former Notre Dame quarterback and potential No. 1 overall draft pick Brady Quinn is spending the night before the start of his professional career doing what he loves the most: hanging with family and friends and playing EA Sports†Madden NFL 07 on Xbox 360.

Just more proff that everybody in the organization tries to say the right thing.

That or while he was playing 07 he realized what a rip off the Madden Franchise has become and he has since gave up on it. Kinda like me.

Talk about high expectations. I also think he will be the starter but lets see if he can do better than DA before we even mention MVP chants. Remember, in a very similar situation at basically the same time in their careers DA went 10 - 5 with very impressive passing numbers.

I think what you should want from BQ this year is to show that he can adjust to the defenses as the defenses adjust to him. Not to have his play regress. Don't put the pressure on that he will be a MVP candidate. I can almost promise you will disappointed.

Cleveland has a favorable schedule and I am hoping for a 10 win season and not missing the playoffs.

And for all those people that think that Lum will disappear when BQ is the QB. I have to say that I think you are so dead wrong. He is going to be on after every not great performance that BQ puts on. He is going to point out every missed opportunity and bad pass that BQ makes. Hopefully he does it in a intelligent way, but I think I expect to much.

He is to a great season and season that The Browns get to see if they have a QB or if they need to draft one in next years deep QB draft.
